Once in a lifetime experience! - This was a once in a lifetime experience for us! Kiluea was erupting with the highest fountains in decades! Simply stunning views. Jill was a wonderful, informative guide, and our group was able to witness everything at just the right times and places on the trails. We were able to see all the beautiful sights of Hilo all in one day. Highly recommend Jill and her adventure tour! It was a day our family will remember forever.

An amazing way to experience an active volcano! - We are SO HAPPY we booked this tour with Mauka Makai Adventures for our volcano tour. Jill was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. She did a terrific job of filling in our tour with stories and information about the volcano, the geology, and Hawaiian lore. We were in a van of about 14 tourists, but it felt very manageable with a group that size. If you are looking to get an introduction to the Hawaiian volcanoes, lava tubes, and big island landscape, I highly recommend this company. A few things to note: 1. There are plenty of bathroom breaks along the way. 2. Due to the number of stops, there isn't a ton of time to linger at any of them...but, it is a great way to get an introduction to the National Park for future trips. 3. It definitely rains in the rainforest (shocking, I know) and is much cooler than down in Kona/Hilo areas. Bring a sweatshirt at a minimum but a rain jacket or poncho is highly recommended. 4. There is a stop for snacks at the Volcano House in the National Park, but I recommend bringing something so you're not stuck in line and missing out on opportunities to enjoy the property and view. 5. Jill really knows her stuff and seems to know quite a few of the park rangers, ask her all the questions!

First rate tour - We were very happy that we chose this tour of the Volcano Park and Rainbow Falls (among other things). Our guide was first rate; she was born on the Big Island and was very knowledgeable about the volcano and the surrounding area. The tour lasted about six hours and was very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this tour.
